1971 Map of Batesville Hill

About this map

Leona River meanders through the boundary lands of South Texas in this 1971 survey, following a winding course that defines the local drainage. The landscape is marked by the distinct elevation of Batesville Hill, a prominent feature in an area otherwise characterized by intermittent watercourses like Gallina Creek and Camp Lake Slough. Human activity is primarily agricultural and industrial, evidenced by a remote Gravel Pit and several drill holes and wells scattered across the terrain. A solitary Grave located near the riverbank offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early inhabitants of the Uvalde and Zavala county line. The infrastructure of the early 1970s is represented by a small Landing Strip and the County Line Tank, illustrating the water management and transportation needs of this cattle and brush country.
